Beast Taming: I have a simplified system
Chapter 23: The Second Round of Exams with Dramatically Increased Difficulty
After the two examiners left, the atmosphere at the scene became very strange.
Now no one dared to question Yi Tian's performance.
However, I could still faintly hear someone making sarcastic remarks.
"So what if you got a perfect score in the first round? Looking at the results, what's the difference between that and us getting 60-something?"
Yi Tian looks incredibly young, with a youthful, student-like appearance.
He was so out of place with everyone else present.
But ironically, he came in first place in the first round of assessments.
Given the stark contrast, many people couldn't help but take a second look at Yi Tian.
Standing next to Yi Tian, Zhou Qiong suddenly remembered what she had said to Yi Tian before.
What? Look at her summary notes, and you think she has a chance to pass the exam within two years?
What questions can I ask her, this senior colleague, anytime?
I felt incredibly embarrassed.
She's actually a top student! You can ask her anytime if you have any questions!
Zhou Qiong, Zhou Qiong, what you're doing is nothing short of showing off your limited skills before an expert.
Zhou Tiangang, on the other hand, had a look of joy on his face.
He patted Yi Tian on the shoulder and said "good" three times.
Yi Tian was his student, and it was through him that he learned of the existence of the research institute.
Regardless, he deserves credit for the introduction!
The better Yi Tian performed, the more face he would have.
If you pass the first round, how far away can the second round be?
Even if he fails this time, Yi Tian is a beast tamer with special talents, and he will definitely pass if he takes the test a few more times.
"Xiao Tian, how did you do that?"
After the initial joy, Zhou Tiangang couldn't help but ask a question.
No matter how I think about it, it seems a bit unbelievable.
Only ten days!
Even if you get a perfect score, and luck plays a part, you should at least have memorized about 50% of both books, even if you didn't memorize them completely.
Yi Tian pondered for a moment, then said.
"Maybe I was just lucky; the exam paper just happened to contain things I had memorized."
Zhou Tiangang rolled his eyes; those words were as good as saying nothing at all.
But I didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone has their own secrets. Since Yi Tian doesn't want to talk about them, he can't force Yi Tian to.
After the first round of assessments, candidates were given two hours to have lunch and rest before the second round of assessments officially began at 1 p.m.
In the cafeteria, the three were enjoying their meal.
Zhou Tiangang, as a member of the research institute, enjoyed free meals, as did the other two, who were examinees.
"Hello, Teacher Zhou."
As they were eating, a slightly overweight man suddenly called out to Zhou Tiangang from afar.
He looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Then, the man introduced himself.
"Teacher Zhou, it's me, Liu Bo."
"You were my student five years ago, back when you weren't the principal yet, and you taught me."
Zhou Tiangang searched his memory and found that there was indeed such a person.
"It's Xiao Bo! Long time no see."
A few years ago, Liu Bo was very thin, which is very different from his current physique, so Zhou Tiangang did not react immediately.
No wonder the name sounded familiar when the results came out.
He put down his chopsticks and patted Liu Bo on the shoulder.
"Xiao Bo performed very well, ranking third in the first round."
Liu Bo was overjoyed; being recognized by his former teacher was something to be happy about.
He remained modest.
"Just lucky, just lucky."
After saying that, he glanced at Yi Tian and asked.
"Is this my junior?"
Zhou Tiangang nodded and laughed heartily.
"Yes, he's only a senior in high school."
Liu Bo nodded, confirming his suspicions.
He came to greet Zhou Tiangang, but recognizing him as his teacher was secondary; his main purpose was to get to know Yi Tian.
A person who can get a perfect score in the first round should find the second round not too difficult.
The two will most likely become colleagues in the research institute in the future, so it's always good to build a relationship early on.
Liu Bo, ever the friendly type, sat down next to Yi Tian, looking at the Great Sage on his shoulder with some curiosity.
"Junior Yi Tian, is this your pet?"
Not every beast will be contracted by a beast tamer; many beast tamers have the hobby of keeping additional pets.
Yi Tian shook his head.
"This is the beast I contracted."
"Forehead..."
Liu Bo was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and said intermittently.
"Haha, Yi Tian... junior, you really are quite special."
After learning that Yi Tian's tamed beast was a stone monkey, Liu Bo's attitude was noticeably less enthusiastic than before, but it was still polite.
Yi Tian expressed his understanding, saying that in the adult world, it's perfectly normal to tailor one's approach to different situations.
After the meal, Yi Tian, led by Zhou Tiangang, took a good tour of the research institute.
It's almost one o'clock.
The location for the second round of assessments was different from the first. After saying goodbye to Zhou Tiangang, Yi Tian and Zhou Qiong entered the room together.
What comes into view are rows of testing platforms.
They are neatly arranged in the room, with various instruments and utensils on each table.
At the very front of the room was a huge bookshelf, but instead of books, it was filled with materials that Yi Tian had never seen before.
It can be solid, liquid, or even gas, etc.
With five minutes left before the assessment was to begin, the two examiners finally entered the room.
Zhang Shenglai will introduce the rules of this assessment.
"Hello, fellow candidates. Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhang Sheng, one of the chief examiners for this assessment, and also the deputy director of the Institute's Training Department."
"Next, I will introduce the assessment rules to you."
"..."
Everyone listened intently, because the content of each assessment was different, so they had no previous cases to refer to.
The more they listened, the uglier many people's expressions became.
"The assessment rules this time... seem to be quite different from those I've experienced before."
One of the test takers, who had taken the exam several times, muttered to himself.
As is customary, the second round of assessments will still consist of two separate questions, one for each of the two departments.
The training task for this session is as follows: Candidates will receive a silver-level skill and are required to bring their beast taming skills to the beginner level within 5 hours, while also providing a material ratio that can increase the skill's training speed by more than 10%.
Discussions are allowed two hours before the exam begins; any discussion after two hours is considered a violation.
The materials on the bookshelf are available for all candidates to use for experiments and tests.
To be fair, the silver-level skill selected for the question is a brand-new skill that was just discovered in a certain secret realm and has not yet entered the market.
At the same time, this skill has very few restrictions and is suitable for the vast majority of beast tamers to learn.
The evolution problem is: candidates need to acquire a skill to explore evolutionary factors and are required to explore at least one evolutionary factor within 5 hours.
Evolution factors are the key substances within a beast's body that enable it to find new evolutionary paths.
The test takers were discussing it animatedly.
"Damn, no matter which topic we choose, the beast must learn the skill within 5 hours. That's way too difficult!"
"Yeah, we're researchers, not beast-taming geniuses."
"My goal has always been to join the training department. I have practiced finding material ratios before, but that time the only requirement was to increase the cultivation speed by 8%, and only 2 people passed the test."
"With the added requirements for beginners in beast taming skills, and the increased percentage of points required, this time the difficulty is at least five or six times greater than before. Is there really anyone who can pass the test?"
"Are you sure the research institute isn't already full and doesn't need to hire, but still has to go through the procedures, so they're just messing with us?"
"Yeah, this is just too outrageous. I went through the evolution test before, and all I had to do was use instruments to simulate and find evolution factors. This time, they're asking us to find them directly from the bodies of the beasts we tame."
